Description

William Butler Yeats's early writings offer a unique glimpse into the life and work of one of the 20th century's most celebrated poets. This collection, published to mark the 150th anniversary of his birth, presents a fresh portrait of Yeats as a younger man, showcasing his poetic talent, fascination with Irish folklore, and artistic theories. Included are some of Yeats's most celebrated poems, such as "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" and "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven", alongside his imaginative retellings of Irish fairytales. This collection provides a fascinating window into Yeats's mystical and lovelorn persona, which was so deeply ingrained in his work during his lifetime. Published by Penguin Classics, this edition features authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
